Turning to Resilience
again and again
It's a good time to break the glass and use the
Emergency Resilience.
Creativity requires resilience and so do we if we are to succeed in troubled times. When it gets hard, and it is hard now, breathe in the moment, and remember all that you've overcome in the past.
Then pull up a chair, write a haiku, close your eyes and draw a chicken, or invent a new dance. Start with five minutes to break any resistance, lower your expectations, do a little anything... and see if maybe a momentum starts. If not, try later.
When we're in the creative process, we are restoring our supply of resilience.
We hold vigil tonight,
Praying like harps so fully
Our cheeks fall into our laps.
I now live in this village,
in the house with the peach roof.
That's my new car.
That's the slice of pizza I ordered.
The challenges of reality hold no power over mortals who know where to direct their attention, believe in their resilience, and are armed with vivid imaginations.
Onward, Jill
